Bound Brook lost 10 of 11 starters on offense from last year’s 10-1 team, and nine of 11 on defense. That is some heavy losses for a small school.
But.
One of those Crusaders returning is junior Andrew Campolattano, the two-time state wrestling champion. Campolattano is really just learning how to play football, which is scary since he rushed for 1,034 yards and seven touchdowns on 163 carries last year. He also caught 15 passes for 218 yards and a touchdown.

Bound Brook senior Anthony Pulsinelli.

Campolattano, who is getting the attention of Division I schools had 12 sacks as a linebacker. He and senior Anthony Pulsinelli will play big parts in whether the Crusaders qualify for the CJ Group I playoffs for the fourth straight year and reach four-straight winning seasons. That hasn’t been done many times in the Crusaders’ long history.
The quarterback will be junior Chris Conner, who did get some varsity snaps last year. Senior wideout Denzel Sanders looks like a primary receiver.
Bound Brook scrimmages at Snyder Tuesday and returns home for its traditional scrimmage with Metuchen Friday night. Metuchen eliminated Bound Brook in the semifnals of the sectional playoffs last year in front of one of the biggest crowds the Crusaders have drawn in decades.
